We
envision
a world where access to education is lifelong and universal,
where diverse neighbors live, work, and celebrate together in
sustainable communities,
a world where
justice and cooperation guide all institutions,
where consensus is tirelessly sought and conflict is managed and
resolved peacefully

lifelong and universal education

The Better World Family is driven by the idea that through
education we can improve ourselves
as individuals. This will allow us to live better lives and to better
serve humanity. We work actively to ensure that everyone has access to
education and we encourage people of all ages to actively teach and be
taught.

diverse neighbors

There is great value in the many different cultures that make up
our
communities and our world. Multiculturalism
is a source of strength and resilience. Open and respectful
communication between people of diverse backgrounds is a powerful and
innovative tool for developing sollutions to a wide range of global
challenges.

sustainable communities

In order to develop a sustainable world system we must focus our
attention on sollutions that improve our quality of life without
disturbing the ecological balance of our natural environment. We work
actively to protrect and restore our natural environment while
developing and implementing innovative and time tested sollutions to
common problems throughout the world. Remember, sustainabilty starts
with you and you must make changes today to minimize your negative
impact.

social justice

Our commitment to and defense of universal human rights is
tireless.
Unjust social arrangements are unsustainable and are inherently
volatile. Extreme disparity threatens peace and damages our
world. We invest in and promote economic enterprise that is free from
exploitation. We work actively to provide people with information about
how their lifestyle impacts society.

Throughout the world people are coming face to face with
simmilar problems and challenges. These challenges unite the people of
the world through the compelling reality of a shared future. In order
to ensure that we are able to 1) end profit driven destruction of the
environment and curb the climate change it has caused and 2)
reconstruct a collapsing economic and social order in a way that is of
the people, by the people, and for the people, we must work together
cooperatively.

consensus building and conflict resolution

Peace is not the absence of war. Peace is an active process that
is based on the pursuit of consensus at the local planning level and a
robust and representative system to resolve conflict at all levels,
from the interpersonal to the international in a way that never
includes violent, destructive behavior. With outside the box thinking
and patient forgiveness we work to develop and implement
constructive sollutions in the most difficult of situations.
